Thousands to flock to The Harbor for 13th Annual Rubber Duck Regatta & Jeep Festival Saturday

ROCKWALL, Texas — October 7, 2025 — Rockwall’s favorite fall tradition is back and bigger than ever! The 13th Annual Rubber Duck Regatta & Jeep Festival splashes into The Harbor this Saturday, October 11, bringing together thousands of families, Jeep enthusiasts, vendors, and
community supporters for a full day of fun — all for a great cause.

Hosted by Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas and Grace Clinic Rockwall County, this beloved community event features food trucks, live music, a Jeep Show & Shine, the Red River Rivalry Tailgate Zone, Trunk or Treat, carnival games, and of course — the famous Rubber Duck
Race, where thousands of rubber ducks race through the fountains at The Harbor for a chance to win prizes, including a brand-new off-road ready 2025 Jeep Wrangler.

“This event truly brings the whole community together,” said Jenny Krueger, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas. “Every duck adopted helps fund vital programs that support kids and families right here in Rockwall. It’s an incredible reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together for a cause.”

Mary Walker, Executive Director of Grace Clinic Rockwall County, added, “The support we receive from this event makes it possible to provide affordable healthcare to those in need. Seeing families come out year after year to enjoy this day and give back is what makes Rockwall
so special.”

The Rubber Duck Regatta & Jeep Festival was voted Rockwall’s Best Community Event by the Herald Banner and continues to grow each year, with over 10,000 attendees expected in 2025.
